College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for Week 14 (Tuesday-Friday Slates)

Rivalry week will decide many things. Some teams are only playing for pride. Some are playing for seeding. Most are playing for trophies. This is the most fun week of the year, and it gives us a loaded Friday slate. We can't complain about that. We have a lot of games on Friday this week. […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Evening Slate (11/22/25)

We have a big evening slate with eight games on tap. One of those is THE Big Game. Fitting, right? We start in Boise with Colorado State taking the Smurf Turf. Pitt is in Atlanta, where they have won four of the last five against the Bees. Nebraska is in Penn State, but they forgot […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Saturday Main Slate (11/22/25)

We've got another big Saturday main slate on tap. Some SEC teams are slumming, so we don't have as many marquee matchups. Missouri is in Norman early, with Oklahoma trying to get revenge on Missouri, scoring twice in the last 65 seconds of the game last year. The undercards are still enticing. Derby City is […]

I had a strong week last week, and I've been ready to get back into this all week! We have to let the lines settle a little. They're usually close to where they're going to close by Friday morning unless we have injury news (which we rarely do in college). Welcome to my world! I […]

Ranking the Top 25 College Football Games this Week: Matchup Breakdowns for Week 13

We have some possible elimination games on the horizon again. We have seen that the CFP committee doesn’t think much of ranked wins, but they do of ranked losses. That’s interesting. S...

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Friday Slate (11/21/25)

It's another two-game Friday slate this week, but without the star power of last week. These four teams are jockeying for bowl position or just to get to a bowl.

We are down to the last three weeks of the contest. It was once again a tough week for the group.

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for Week 13 (Tuesday-Friday Slates)

There was more carnage in the ACC, but we somehow got more clarity. The AAC is the new ACC, with no one wanting to win it. The bottom half of the rankings was blown up again last week. The Big Ten wants a 24-team playoff, but we have problems finding 24 teams that deserve to […]

Predicting the Top 25 College Football Playoff Rankings: Week 13 Update

ACC on ACC crime continued this week. The American Conference also chose chaos over order, with four teams in the conference having one loss in conference play. Will that allow for Conference USA ...

Garrett Nussmeier Doubtful vs. Arkansas On Saturday

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier (abdomen) is doubtful to play against Arkansas on Saturday due to an abdominal injury. This injury has nagged Nussmeier at various times during the 2025 season. Mississippi State transfer Michael Van Buren Jr. will get the start against the Razorbacks in the Battle for the Boot. Rumors have swirled online for […]

I dropped another game last week at 25-26, but only lost one betting point. I'm getting by with solid picks on higher bets, but there are some teams that I'm having trouble figuring out this year. We have our busiest Saturday of the season with 50 FBS vs. FBS games this week. Kentucky is attempting […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Friday Slate (11/14/25)

It's a small-but-mighty Friday night DFS slate. All four teams are power teams, and two of them are ranked. One of them is in the top 10.

Top 25 College Football Quarterback Rankings: Week 12 Update

The media is so desperate to give the Heisman Trophy, even though none have risen high above the rest. What makes a better quarterback? Is it passing stats? Rushing stats? Wins? I know that the qu...

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Expert Betting Predictions for Week 12 (Tuesday-Friday Slates)

It was carnage in the ACC, and in the bottom half of the top 25 as a whole. The fact that CFP rankings had five ACC teams included is significant. It means that many of us who wanted two Group of 5 teams to have a chance will have to wait until the 32-team playoff […]

Predicting the Top 25 College Football Playoff Rankings: Week 12 Update

The first rankings of the 2025 college football season left some surprises. With many upsets happening again, we’re already going to see a big change in the bottom of the rankings. The CFP c...

College Football Picks Against the Spread: Week 11 Expert Predictions & Best Bets (11/8/2025)

I dropped another game last week at 26-27, but I was able to cut my season deficit in half thanks to betting on the right games. I still feel that I'm heading in the right direction. A few teams are taking their second bye this week. Ole Miss is slumming by playing The Citadel. It's […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football Friday Slate (11/7/25)
